Our lab has been upgraded with several brand new instruments including a FTIR, a Benchtop NMR, a TOC/TN analyzer with solid modules, a redox titrator, a pH titrator, a Floc Tester, an ultrafiltration system, and an ultrapure water system. We are also able to refurbish our TOX analyzer and Pyrolysis-GCMS / ECD. We are able to provide a wide range of molecular characterization on both particulate and dissolved organic carbon .
